Recycled sails: Giving new life to old sailcloth
At Resail, we’re passionate about sailing and the planet. That’s why we specialize in recycled sails, giving used sailcloth a new purpose on the water. Instead of letting old sails go to waste, we repurpose them into headsails, mainsails, covers, and downwind sails—so you get top-tier performance while reducing waste.
Why choose recycled sails?
Sails are built to last, made from tough materials like Dacron, nylon, and laminated fabrics. But even the best sails eventually retire. Instead of tossing them, we give them a second life. Here’s why recycled sails are a smart choice:
Eco-friendly – Reduces landfill waste and lowers the demand for new synthetic materials.
Proven durability – Sailcloth is designed to withstand wind, salt, and UV rays, so recycled sails perform just as well as new ones.
Cost-effective – High-quality sailing gear at a fraction of the price of brand-new sails.
Our range of recycled sails
We carefully inspect, clean, and refurbish used sails to ensure they’re ready for more adventures. Here’s what we offer:
Headsails
From genoas to jibs, our recycled headsails are perfect for cruising or racing.
Mainsails
Fully inspected and reinforced, our recycled mainsails deliver reliable performance.
Sail covers
Protect your sails with durable, UV-resistant recycled sail covers.
Downwind sails
Lightweight and fast, our recycled downwind sails (like spinnakers and gennakers) help you catch every breeze.
How we recycle sails
We don’t just resell old sails—we make sure they’re seaworthy. Here’s our process:
Collection – We source used sails from sailors, regattas, and marine fleets.
Inspection – Every sail is checked for wear, stitching integrity, and material strength.
Refurbishment – Minor repairs, cleaning, and reinforcement ensure top condition.
Testing – Before sale, sails are tested for performance and durability.
The Resail difference
We started Resail because we believe sailing should be sustainable. Instead of discarding perfectly good sailcloth, we keep it in use—helping sailors save money and reduce waste.
Performance you can trust – Our recycled sails are tested for reliability.
Budget-friendly – Get premium gear without the premium price.
Planet-first mindset – Every recycled sail means less waste in landfills.
Final thoughts
Recycled sails aren’t just about saving money—they’re about sailing smarter and greener. At Resail, we’re proud to offer high-performance gear that’s kind to the planet.
